Tell Me, What Are You Worth?

Recommended Posts

I see his clear tear drop on dirt

The dirt she spat on a second ago

Whimpering he falls unable to get up

The strength he stood with taken away

He is left with rubble he can’t even use

It was she that drained his beauty, his life

She left him crouching begging after her

He is her father, her brother, her son

But that didn’t stop her from drawing the lines

And with each stroke his flesh was forever severed

The wounds gush open with each word she utters

Pretending to help his children she mutilates them

But he keeps going back to the illusions she has built

And so she continues eating deep in his flesh

Acting as the parasite taking his sustenance

Because to her he is nothing but dirt

The dirt she spat on a second ago

As she took him out of history

And began writing it for him.

Tell me, what are you worth?

Because to me you are

The cradle

Of life

Hope

Love

Tell me

What are you worth?

Because to me you are

The cradle of life, hope, and love

You are the king of Sukur

That hails from the Azania lands

With a grace of golden sand

You leave your trace to move me

Standing with poise to allure me

Gazing at you I know

You are my father, my brother, my son

What I have known and will know

How can she take your might

When you cultivate with your hands

It’s your depth that makes her sour

With green eyes she stands out there

Wanting you in every possible way that exists

How can she not want you

You give a demure of a gentle power

Your nature a smooth velvety chocolate

And you exude with every word you speak

The richness you offer with your heart

Is what has paved her way to carve you

Don’t you know you mesmerize her

In that rhythmic way you move about

Oh how I smile at the thought

Extending my hand to who you are to me

I am your daughter, your sister, your mother

You give me splendor with in

Gazing at you I know

Coming from where I’m from

I have the strength to raise my hand

And show her your worth

The worth

She could never

Touch

Rudy!

Sometimes silence is golden. The poem is not about her pain. The poem is about Africa. Read it again and absorb it into your soul.

Thank you all I appreciate the support...please don't stop fighting for him and remember to show her his worth...we are capable of so so so much but it has to start with lending each other a listening ear and an understanding hand. Again thank you.
